U.S. employers added 162,000 jobs in July, the fewest since March. But the gains were enough to lower the unemployment rate to a 4 ½ -year low of 7.4 percent.
The Labor Department says the rate fell from 7.6 percent in June. But that was one of the few good signs in an otherwise lackluster report.
Fewer jobs were added in the previous two months than earlier estimated. Americans worked fewer hours and their pay dipped. The figures suggest weak economic growth may be making businesses cautious about hiring.
The Federal Reserve will pay particularly close attention to the figures as it decides whether to scale back its $85 billion monthly bond purchases later this year.

Fifty years on
When Gagarin was launched to become the first human in space, his first words after lift-off were 'Poyekhali!', Russian for 'Let's go!'
The phrase takes on a different meaning 50 years later, with most of the world's space agencies now discussing a common strategy for peaceful human and robotic space exploration, focusing on destinations within the Solar System where humans may one day live and work.
Sustainable space exploration is an opportunity for all humankind, and a challenge that no single nation can meet on its own. During the International Astronautical Congress held in the Czech Republic last year, leaders in space exploration spoke the same words: international cooperation. ESA's Director General Jean-Jacques Dordain said the importance of Gagarin's flight was hard to overestimate.
"His deed belongs to the history of mankind and world history of cosmonautics. It's good that 12 April is no longer celebrated only in Russia, but now celebrated all over the world to demonstrate that Gagarin was not just a Soviet citizen but a citizen of planet Earth. Space and human spaceflight in particular have been the drivers for a specific vision, which is, that our future is global. In the next 50 years, we'll see increased partnerships. We are going there, whether the Moon or Mars, together."
Paolo Nespoli, ESA's astronaut now on the ISS for his sixmonth MagISStra mission, was only four years old at the time of Gagarin's flight. With the ISS partners, including ESA, tackling new ways to increase and optimise flight opportunities for Europe to the ISS beyond 2015, Nespoli is enthusiastic about the future of space exploration, "The first person who will travel to Mars has already been born."

Specialist anti-slavery teams are to be placed at airports to help spot potential victims of human trafficking.
Teams led by Border Force, the law enforcement command within the Home Office, will be tasked with identifying potential slavery victims, disrupting organised crime gangs and collecting intelligence on trafficked adults and children.
The first of the specialist teams will begin work on 1st April at the UK's biggest airport, Heathrow, replacing Operation Paladin, which was set up in 2004 with the Metropolitan Police Service.
New teams will be rolled out to Gatwick and Manchester later in the year with further ports to be identified over the coming months.
Modern slavery and organised crime minister Karen Bradley, who was brought into the Home Office as part of a minor reshuffle triggered by the departure of immigration minister Mark Harper, said: "Our frontline Border Force officers are aware that they could be the first authority figure in the UK to have contact with a potential victim of modern slavery.
"Their role is vital in identifying and protecting victims and ensuring there is no easy route into the UK for traffickers.
"The new specialist teams will build on existing skills and joint working and extend that expertise around the country.
"They will be supported by the National Crime Agency which will bring its child protection expertise to bear in cases involving children."
Border Force officers will be assisted by the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP), which is part of the National Crime Agency (NCA), which will help develop a specialist training package.
Once identified, child victims of trafficking are to be provided with specialist support under a scheme being trialled by a number of local authorities from April.
The new system will provide child victims with an independent specialist advocate with expertise in trafficking, to act as a single point of contact.
The draft Modern Slavery Bill, which includes the introduction of tougher sentences for the criminals involved, is being subjected to pre-legislative scrutiny with the aim of publishing a Bill in the spring that could be on the statute books by the end of the Parliament.

With apologies to Mussorgsky, here are a few framebuffer screenshots of the two Crux systems I have running without X now. One I mentioned a few days ago (sorry for the lack of attention; I am counting the days until the first full week of July) when I told about the larger Thinkpad coming back from the repair shop. The smaller, of course, is the machine I use daily for everything from writing up blog posts to distracting myself with Freecell, to digging around the Internet for the correct name for an old symphony. 😉
All of these use screen with the vertical split patch, although dvtm would probably be a worthy alternative. I think screen-vs has a little more freedom in arranging and slicing up your LCD real estate than dvtm, and I feel screen-vs is a little faster on the redraw for most applications. However, I certainly wouldn't discount it as an option.
As mentioned elsewhere, this is more or less the standard setup for my torrent machine, a 24-7 online machine.
That puts rtorrent at the top in a slim box, letting me just take a look at the status without too many details. It also leaves elinks on the screen in a box of considerable size, while giving me a proper system profile and a good look at network traffic with slurm. That's what I like, all at the same time.
I threw this together the other day, and recreated it this morning as another option for that machine. It takes a little while to get it quite right, but it's good when it's done.
Similar applications, mostly because I don't have too many options for software on that machine. No point in installing a long list of (albeit lightweight) programs that I wouldn't use. But this arrangement gives me a little more space for elinks, while chipping down a little at the space for the system profile. I have both iftop and slurm running this time in smaller areas, while leaving open a root prompt.
(This machine is set to automatically sync with the Crux repositories once a day, and automatically update itself. The other two machines can refresh against it, and since all three are Coppermines, I can just install the compiled package on the little Thinkpad or the Inspiron. Convenient, yes?)
That arrangement also pushes rtorrent to the sky, but this time squeezes htop into a slim bar at the bottom, where I get only the CPU, memory and swap meters. Sort of conky-esque, don't you think?
Back to the little computer now. Here's an unusual arrangement, but useful when writing up a blog post or digging up information on troublesome hardware.
At 800×600 this allows elinks most of the screen, with both hnb and vim getting a share. I have alpine showing in one little window there, but it's usually where I put Charm if I am concocting another Internet complaint. It's functional and fast, and I can use screen's copy-and-paste tools to move information between applications. Thank goodness for that. …
This is more of a distraction than anything. MPlayer, vitetris and myman, all at once.
Not that I watch my DVD rips while playing two games at a time. It's just an example of using the thing as a complete waste of time, instead of work-work-work.
But this one is the most practical, and most common for this machine. This puts all the good stuff together on one plate, and still has lots of area for more.
MPlayer for a distraction, system profiles on the left, elinks and alpine on the right. Usually I pop centerim or irssi in and out of those right-hand boxes, or do whatever needs to be done with mc or vim. The right-side boxes are around 400×300, more or less, and the left side are usually about 400×200. Good sizes for most applications; not too small, but not overbearing either.
As yet-another endorsement of an X-less system, I have to repeat how satisfying it is to build a machine like this. Boot times are as low as 11 seconds for the 550Mhz machine; even less for the faster ones. System overhead, as you can see in the screenshots, is so slim as to be unnoticable, and unless you're doing something processor-intensive, you'll probably never see any real CPU or RAM use.
You don't have to suffer through X software revisions, video driver glitches or system-wide software substitutions. As you can see, I still watch movies, and I still swap photos with family members. And I suppose if I wanted, I could probably scrape YouTube for those precious Flash videos of snails racing, convert them, and watch them against the framebuffer. Not interested personally, but I know it's crucial to some. 🙄

SecurCloud was launched to create a platform for customers and providers to choose how and who they want to deliver fully managed tokenless multi factor Authentication services.
SecurCloud is about empowering the customer and offering choice, therefore providing all the benefits of Strong Authentication from one to hundreds of thousands of users all deployed within minutes by your chosen Cloud partner. For end users, our Cloud solution is offered by YOUR partner and this is YOUR choice.
SecurCloud Benefits:
- Customer data managed either by the customer or SecurCloud provider
- Multiple domains, geographies and organisations can be deployed seamlessly
Benefits to Users:
- End user doesn't need to remember an additional secret piece of information as they can reuse the Microsoft or LDAP password.
- End users only needs to enter one thing they know rather than two pieces of information as many other 2 factor authentication systems require a separate PIN.
- All a user needs to do is read an industry standard 6 digit passcode from their phone. The user does not need to perform any mathematical manipulation to derive their passcode.
- End user does not need to carry additional authentication devices.
- Dynamically updating the previous SMS message removes the need to delete old text messages
- Soft Token application available to all smart phones and desktop/laptop environments
Benefits to the business:
- Any mobile phone that can receive an SMS message is supported without any SMS delivery delay issues affecting performance. This approach expands the range of users to include not only internal staff but also third-parties and even consumers.
- No token deployment or replacement costs.
- No token resynchronisation or PIN resets reduces the cost of helpdesk administration
- Deployment to thousands of users in minutes via SecurEnvoy's deployment wizard cuts down the cost of deploying and supporting two factor authentications.
- The personal security paid to a users mobile phone far exceeds that paid to a hardware token they are forced to carry. End users are more likely to notice their mobile phone has been stolen and more importantly are far more likely to report it missing. Therefore providing enhanced security to the business over token based solutions.

Enterprise Class Solution
Full multi-domain support with redundancy and fault tolerance built-in.
"particulary well suited to businesses with a large remote workforce"ComputingSecurity
SecurEnvoy harness the power and scalability of Active Directory or other LDAP based servers as its core database. All replication is performed by the operating system siftware (domain controllers).
SecurEnvoy's radius server can scale to over 50 authentications per second. It utilises Microsoft's next generation .net framework and LDAP services.
As the next required user's passcode is not needed until the next authentication, any buffered delay at peak loads in sending the next SMS passcode message will not affect authentication performance.
The only limitation imposed on scaling the system is the number of users that Active Directory (or other LDAP servers) can manage in any single domain.
Fault Tolerant
Each site is designed with two authentication servers such that if one of these servers failed or its delivery SMS gateway was unable to send SMS messages then this server will drop the incoming authenticate request. This action will cause the VPN radius client or IIS Agent to fail over to the next configured SecurEnvoy server. Note that as this solution is priced per user, additional servers can be added if required at no additional cost.
All user authentication data is stored and replicated in real time by Active Directory with each SecurEnvoy server being configured for up to two Microsoft domain controllers such that if an existing domain controller fails then SecurEnvoy 's server will fail over to the next configured domain controller.
SecurEnvoy is supported on clustered servers if required.
Failover between sites is supported out the box with no additional development required as follows:
If a user from one site authenticates at a second site and is in the same domain then Active Directory (or other LDAP server) synchronisation will ensure that the required authentication information is available at both sites and thus will be available to SecurEnvoy's authentication server.
Multiple SMS Gateways can be configured with fail-over.
Each SMS Gateway is continually checked for correct operation. If one fails for example the power is removed from a connected SMS modem, then this gateway is poled every 60 seconds with reset and initialisation commands.
Multi Domain Support
Each SecurEnvoy security server can be configured with two domain controllers for each domain your company uses with no limit on the number of domains. The domain component of the userID is then used to dynamically switch the security server to the relevant domain. If no domain component is given in the userID then a default domain is used. Default domains are set at each radius client configuration such that each connecting VPN server can be configured with a separate default domain.
The only on going administration tasks required are the following:
- Re-enable lockout account that have failed too many authentications since the last good one
- Update users mobile numbers (can be self managed via help desk if required)
- Enable temporary emergency access if a mobile phone is lost (can also be self managed via help desk)
SecurEnvoy supports role based administration with these roles:
- Full Admin: Access to all admin GUI functions including server configuration,log, radius and user setting.
- Help Desk: Can only access user setting and log information
- Help Desk Groups: Can only administer users that are a member of an Active Directory (or other LDAP) group or sub nested group.
- Config: System configuration settings only, no access to user authentication
Administration overhead functions are kept to in minimum as end user information is already available in Active Directory, no token management or resynchronisation is required and no PIN management is required.
In addition, temporary emergency access codes automatically switch back to one time codes after the administrator defined number of days. As user information is stored in AD then any users deleted from Active Directory will be deleted from SecurEnvoy.
Centralised management is support in the following way. Each security server can manage any user in any domain with remote administration being accessed via a browser (IE6, IE7, IE8 or Firefox).
Two-Factor Authentication for Regulatory Compliance
Businesses and Organisations are no longer able to ignore Two-factor authentication. It is now a major part of all users day-to-day work and home lives. Compliance and regulatory standards have to be met and adhered to.
SecurEnvoy is the most flexible and cost effective solution in the Two-factor market. SecurEnvoy provides Tokenless Two Factor solutions that meet and exceed regulatory compliance such as PCI Data Security Standards, GCSx CoCo, HIPAA, SOX, ISO 27001, and other industry regulations.

- GCSx
- CoCo,
SecurEnvoy has a suite of Tokenless Two Factor authentication solutions that can leverage devices an end user has access to, in their day day work. This can be a mobile phone, a physical landline or direct dial extension or a device such as a tablet or P.C. SecurEnvoy are just not limited to a mobile phone, but provides solutions for how users like to work and with what devices.

Déjà vu: Estonian tomato and smoked cheese soup recipe
On Monday morning I opened my mailbox and saw this:
Hello from London
Love the blog. I had a wonderful tomato and smoked cheese soup in Tallinn and wondered if this was a traditional Estonian soup and whether you had a recipe for this?
Thanks and best wishes
Chris B.
Why déjà vu? You see, it's not the first time I get a recipe request for an "Estonian cheese soup" - I even posted a recipe for an "Estonian" courgette/zucchini and cheese soup last Spring, when a reader was inquiring about a soup he heard about on an American radio station. I wasn't really aware that there's such a thing as a typical Estonian cheese soup, but then realised that something called juustusupp (cheese soup) is served in most pubs, and I did have several soups in my regular recipe repertoire that relied on being thickened with either smoked cheese (suitsujuust) or melted cheese (sulatatud juust) or flavoured or unflavoured cream cheese (toorjuust).
Some cherry tomatoes from picked from our greenhouse this weekend. The varieties are Sungold and Suncherry.
Here are some of the soup recipes here on Nami-Nami foodblog that contain cheese:
Estonian courgette/zucchini and smoked cheese soup
Goat cheese and beetroot/beet soup
Creamy fish soup
But back to the tomato and cheese soup that Chris was inquiring about. Here's a version I made for lunch today, and my family loved it. I used tomato passata or sieved pureéd tomatoes. You can use canned chopped tomatoes (just process them smooth first) or even chopped fresh tomatoes from your garden (chop, cook with a bit of salt, pureé and press through a sieve to remove the skin).
The smoked cheese that's most popular here in Estonia is this "log" - currently produced by Tere (but this has been around - looking exactly the same - since the Soviet time), weighs 280 grams. After you remove the wrapping and the skin and nibble a slice or two, you're left with about 200 grams of cheese:
I might try this spreadable smoke-flavoured cheese by E-Piim next time (180 g) - would be probably so much more convenient to use in a soup:
If you cannot get hold of either one of those, then Kitchen Ninja helpfully left a comment after the courgette and smoked cheese soup recipe that smoked Gouda worked brilliantly, so try to locate some of that Dutch cheese, or look for a Räucherkäse, geräucherter Käse, копчёный сыр or such like in your local international food isle.
Tomato and Smoked Cheese Soup
Serves 4
400 g canned chopped tomatoes or tomato passata
400 ml water
200 g smoked cheese, finely chopped
200 ml single cream/pouring cream
salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
sugar, to taste
fresh parsley, to garnish
Mix tomatoes and water in a medium saucepan. Bring into a slow boil, then add the smoked cheese and cream and heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese has melted.
Season the soup with salt, pepper and sugar.
Garnish with some finely chopped parsley and serve. A good crusty bread would be a nice companion.

Dear Pille
Thank you! That's wonderful and I look forward to trying it out.
Keep up the blog, I really enjoy reading it and I am looking forward to my next visit to Tallinn!
Best wishes

Dr. David Huibregtse
JANESVILLE — Dr. David Huibregtse of Janesville, age 59, died on Monday, September 2, 2013, at home.
He and his twin brother Bruce were born in Blair, WI, on March 2, 1954, to Donald and Laurel (Karau) Huibregtse.
His early years were spent in Blair, WI, and Minnetonka, MN. The family moved to Monona, WI, in 1968. In addition to being an excellent student, David participated in track and played basketball and football in high school. He was an All-Conference defensive back for the 1971 Badger Conference Championship football team and a member of the conference record-setting mile relay for the 1972 Badger Conference Champion track team. He graduated in 1972 from Monona Grove High School.
David followed in his parents' footsteps and enrolled at University of Wisconsin -Madison. During college he was a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity, and Phi Kappa Phi and Phi Eta Sigma honorary fraternities. He was a proud UW graduate, earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in Zoology in 1972.
In 1981 he graduated from U.W. Medical School and began a five-year orthopaedic surgery residency at the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO. It was there that he met his future wife, Robyn D. Beamer. They were married on September 14, 1984.
The couple moved to Janesville in 1986, where David began his career as an orthopaedic surgeon for Riverview Clinic and later Dean St. Mary's Hospital. He was a member of the Janesville Country Club, Wisconsin Alumni Association, American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery, American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, Mid-America Orthopaedic Association, and a former member of the Janesville Morning Rotary Club.
David was an enthusiastic fan of Badger football and the UW Marching Band. In his free time, he loved playing golf. He was excited to score three holes-in-one in a twelve-month period, as many of his friends will recall. He also enjoyed basketball, travel, snowboarding, biking and fishing. But his three beloved children were his pride and joy.
A gregarious and outspoken personality, David will be missed by many. Over the last 27 years he has earned the love, respect and gratitude of countless friends and patients in the Janesville area.
David is survived by his wife, Robyn and their children, Jack of San Jose, CA, Carly of Milwaukee and Quinn who attends UW-Madison; sister, Connie (Odin) Thorpe of Waukesha and their children, Colin, Courtney and Chris Thorpe; twin brother, Bruce (Diana) Huibregtse of Madison and their children, Jamie (Craig) Keisler, Brooke and Morgan Huibregtse; and brother, Don II "Ditto" (Azin) Huibregtse of Cottage Grove and their children, Don III, Tom and Garret Huibregtse. He is also lovingly remembered by Robyn's extended family. David was preceded in death by his parents, Don and Laurel Huibregtse.
A Celebration of Dr. Huibregtse's Life will take place at the JANESVILLE COUNTRY CLUB on Monday, Sept. 16, 2013 from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. with a sharing of memories at 6:00 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to: National Alliance on Mental Illness, 4233 West Beltline Highway, Madison WI 53711; American Red Cross, P.O. Box 4002018, Des Moines IA 50340; or Rotary Botanical Gardens, 1455 Palmer Drive, Janesville WI 53545.
The family is being assisted by the SCHNEIDER APFEL SCHNEIDER & SCHNEIDER FUNERAL HOME and CREMATORY, Janesville.

Here I am playing blog catch-up. It's been a crazy bunch of days –- the stars aligned just so and there was an exhausting convergence of New York ComicCon and the Society of Illustrators' annual gala.
The weekend started with Richard Solomon's annual cocktail party. This year it was held at the Beekman Towers with amazing views of east Manhattan. The party was great fun but as too many of us squeezed into an elevator to leave for dinner we managed to get stuck for a solid half hour. While it would be tough to call the experience fun it was a great crew to be stuck with. Luckily, only one person was truly claustrophobic, the rest of us were laughing for a half hour straight. The Elevator Club included Mark Summers, Gary Kelly, Greg Manchess, Peter de Seve, David Johnson, Barbara McClintock, Murray Kimber, Scott Brundage, Elise, Jim Bennet, and myself.
The Society's opening and awards ceremony. The show looks good although, typical of openings, I saw very little of it. The awards are always handled well. The director, Terry Brown, does a nice job of keeping them moving without feeling rushed. James Jean got a medal for one of his Fables covers. Gary Kelly got an medal for his brilliant Black Cat Bone book. (A perfect gift for anyone into the blues and Robert Johnson.) Greg Swearingen got a well earned award for the sweetest Cyrano you ever did see. I'm missing some other awards, but that's what I remember right now. It was great to see and talk to John Jude Palencar, Donato Giancola, Brad Holland, Steve Stroud, Michael Deas, and many others. There are a number of Tor covers in the show but, to be honest, I'm not even sure how many. I'll get back and take some pictures of the exhibit soon.
I was manning the Tor booth at ComicCon with our fabulous publicist Dot Lin. (Dot did all the work, hence, fabulous!) We had a well attended George R. R. Martin signing for Ice Dragon. Other authors and Tor alumni stopped by -- Timothy Zahn, David Keck, Greg Cox. I got to see some artist friends. The convention was much larger and more interesting than last year. Sadly, I missed seeing any panels since the rest of the weekend was completely booked up with activities. Hopefully next year I'll be able to spend more of the weekend there.
Saturday night was a massive dinner with John Jude Palencar, Rick and Wendy Farrell, most of the Elevator Club, and others I never got to speak to. All topped off with the traditional annual visit to the lounge at the Café des'Artise, home of the Howard Chandler Christy murals
Richard Solomon once again treated everyone to a lovely send-off breakfast, which was followed by a dinner with those still left in town.
The whole thing was capped off by a small dinner with Paul Cox. Honestly, being at a table for just three at an intimate Italian restaurant was really a highlight --so nice to talk and actually be heard after so much partying.
And somehow amongst all of this I managed to have a lovely lunch with my mom and my brother's future in-laws. All in all -- a fun weekend but, boy, am I ready for nothing to do for a while.
Stuck in the elevator -- Mark Summers, Murray Kimber, and others.

Sounds like a fun-filled weekend indeed. But i doubt you can beat the kareoke night we had Saturday after the Con.
That got me thinking, the SoI is in need of a kareoke machine.
See you tonight.

Hi tony,
I will be in SD. Tor will haae a booth so I should be easy to find. When we know more details, I'll posat them here.
I like a game which you need use dofus kamas to play. If you want to be online to play this game, I can borrow kamasto you. When you have cheap kamas, and than you can go on this game. Of cause, when you are first to play, you can dofus gold. If you have enough buy dofus kamas
, you will be able to different games.
Do you like playing the game where you need to use shaiya gold, when you do not have shaiya money, you must borrow cheap shaiya gold from friends, or you can not go on this game without shaiya online gold. If you buy shaiya gold, you can continue this game.

Ascham School
Drawing on the influences of both the contemporary photographer Annie Leibovitz and the Renaissance through Leonardo da Vinci, I sought to challenge the notion of originality and society's conventions. Using digital technology and drawing on editorials found in current fashion magazines, I am attempting to question the development of religion and its relevance, or lack thereof, to a global consumer culture.
Influencing artists: Annie Leibovitz, Leonardo da Vinci, Grace Coddington (creative director, US Vogue)
What is your initial response to Mary Magdalane by Bernardino Campi? Carefully analyse this work considering the subject matter and compositional structure. How does it reflect the Renaissance sensibility?
Look carefully at Georgia McGlennon's body of work. How does she show evidence of the Renaissance style? What is the artist trying to communicate to her contemporary audience? Discuss how being influenced by a traditional art style can still have relevance in today's world.

This is for real. I added a Jet Power mass airflow sensor to my RAM Air on my 2008 Saturn Vue and instantly noted more low end power and torque. My milage went from 18 mpg in the city to 20 mpg. This reaaly did the trick.

text: I run the map switch and use 'soft' on the trails and 'aggressive' on the pavement. The difference in power level is noticeable but not huge, it is rather how fast and immediate the power is delivered. For example, I once tried 'aggressive' on the trail and went to lift the front wheel over a tree across the trail - instead of the 2 foot wheelie I expected I got a four foot wheelie. You can still get the power you want in 'soft' mode, it just isn't as 'immediate'. Peak power is a little less - but there is so much power with the 570 I don't need all of the power it can deliver off-road. On the pavement is a different matter - all the traction you need and no obstacles, so I put it on 'aggressive'. Also, you get better fuel mileage on 'aggressive'. What the map switch does is mostly change the timing curve, so it is 'retarded' on 'soft'. This may also help you when you are someplace where you have poor gas. As for where the switch affects the power, I think it is mostly in the mid to upper ranges, but like I said it also makes the power more immediate down low - kind of like a different throttle cam. The way to know for sure would be to do a dyno run with each switch setting and compare them - if you don't measure you don't know, and a seat of the pants dyno can fool you. If you want a lot more power, the new 70 deg. bikes respond well to freeing up the intake and exhaust. One of the things you can do towards that end is to cut a hole in the seat above the intake: That was an experiment I did on a stock seat (I have a Guts tall seat) I bought to do the experiment. The hole made a significant difference in both power and intake noise. If you think the stock intake is loud, try the hole in the seat - you will need ear plugs. SM riders do this mod (with more sophistication). My intention is to have a local seat builder take this seat, put some air filter foam in the hole, cover the hole with porous material (both under and over) and recover the seat to look nice and build it to be wider like some SM seats. That seat is what would use on the street when running SM wheels or in the snow with the snowbike kit (snowbikes need a lot more power). Others drill around the edges of where the seat meets the tank shrouds, but it seems to me that the seat mode would make a much bigger difference and let less crap into the airbox. Add a more free flowing exhaust and you get yet more power. Personally, I intend to keep the stock exhaust, I like how quiet it is.

There have been points in time when it has laid low, when it has licked its wounds; there have been points when it has been flying high, with the world by it's tail.
That's life in a nutshell, isn't it.
2011 has been a year like none I have had since I began posting here. I went into 2011 wondering if I had ovarian cancer. A complete, radical hysterectomy in January showed that I didn't thank goodness. I slammed into menopause. I began 7 weeks of recovery, began to run again, half marathons, marathons, 50Ks and then the dreaded herniated discs arrived and yet another recovery.
The hysterectomy recovery turned out to be uneventful. Seven weeks of laying low, walking, flat on my back most of the time. I later learned that the time on my back with my chin pointed toward my chest as I was watching TV or iPhoning probably herniated two of my discs. My gynecologic surgeon and neurosurgeon both came to this conclusion. As I look back it now makes sense.
I've received many questions via email, FB, etc. relating to the herniated discs and the recovery process. It was horrible. I'll go into detail here to answer many of the questions.
When I came back to work in March, after 7 weeks of medical leave, I noticed that I felt pain in my left elbow when answering the phone. I hadn't yet started to run or lift at this point. I rearranged my work desk so that I would be answering my telephone with my right arm. A few days later I commented that my left index finger felt numb and my hand tingly. I couldn't figure this out.
I began to run and noticed that when I did I had a 'falling asleep' feeling from my elbow down to my fingers .. this continued for weeks. I didn't know why and didn't make any medical appointments. I think I was 'all doctored out'.
I remember running the Minneapolis Marathon in May, so happy that I was again running, so thrilled that the hysterectomy hadn't taken me down and hadn't shown cancer. I also remember having to pass my water bottle hand to hand because the left one kept falling asleep. I kept trying to shake it out, it wouldn't shake out.
In July I ran the Afton 50K and felt the same symptoms of the herniated discs but didn't know what it was. I was beginning to worry I had MS or something. I took the race slow, but finished the crazy Afton Alps course, I was happy to have made it but the pain in my arm worried me.
Finally by the end of July I couldn't run anymore, it hurt too badly. The bouncing motion made my rhomboid area scream in pain. I thought maybe I strained my rhomboid. The pain at this point was horrific.
The first Dr. I saw was a General Practitioner. It was he who thought I could have herniated discs. I was stunned. I was scheduled for physical therapy in two weeks. He gave me some exercises to complete daily, a prescription for muscle relaxants and suggested an MRI.
The MRI confirmed herniated discs and the doctor I saw this time spoke of surgery. I was resistant to this option. I decided to get an appointment at Mayo with a neurosurgeon. Why wouldn't one go to the best of the best, you know? I had my hysterectomy at Mayo and had as good of an experience as one could under the circumstances.
In the meantime I woke up in the middle of the night and thought I heard Topaz stuck under my bed. Now I realize I was dreaming. He can't even fit under my bed. I have a Select Comfort and there isn't room for him under there.
I popped out of bed (OUCH!) began to pull on Topaz as he was sleeping on the floor next to my bed. As I pulled him I felt intense pain. I couldn't move.
Eventually I made my way to the kitchen and just stood there. I couldn't cry, I would scare Troy, I couldn't scream, what good would that do? I stood there wondering if I should get on the floor in fetal position. It didn't help. I hurt so badly and I didn't know what to do. I was going to go out of my mind. I had all of the Oxycodone left from my hysterectomy. I hadn't taken any. I wondered if I should now?
I had Steve take me to the ER at Princeton. The Dr. there told me I had probably suffered a muscle strain. Ah, no, I had an MRI and have herniated discs. Oh, well, I don't think so, I think you have a muscle strain. I see you have on a race shirt, you run, well, take some Percocet, some of the Oxycodone some Aleve and you can run. Are you for real? I don't need to run, I need to be able to get through this hour without pain. We left. I wasn't feeling much better but the Percocet he gave me as I walked through the door was taking the edge off.
I decided to try a chiropractor. Bad idea. I saw one in Big Lake and he was a joke. I could barely walk into his office. He told me I had sprained my neck and asked me to take my shirt off, then to flex my biceps as he stood there watching me. Are you kidding me? I left and didn't go back. I should probably report him to the Better Business Bureau or something. What the fuck?
My appointment at Mayo finally arrived. I saw a wonderful neurosurgeon who told me that only 10% of his patients who have herniated discs are candidates for surgery. He showed me how to take care of my spine, how to get through my day, what exercises to complete. He told me I would run again. He told me my pain would lessen. It could be 3 months, it could be 6 months, it could be a year. He told me to keep my appointments with the physical therapist and that he would contact me each week. He did. He was awesome.
The physical therapy went well. Traction was my new best friend and the healing began. It was slow. Here I am, 9 months since this all began, and finally feeling good.
That was a long report on the whole herniated disc saga, I hope it answered some of the questions. It has had a big impact on 2011 and what I want to do in 2012.
Now, when I run, I remember the pain. I remember how I didn't know if I would be able to run again. I remember how I told myself I was OK with that. I just wanted the pain to be gone. If I was able to run again, that would be icing on the cake.
I am enjoying the icing on the cake!
I am running and I have missed it so very much. I am humbled and I am so very grateful for every step I am now taking out in the woods.
This week Topaz and I ran our longest run since I ran Afton 50K. We ran 20 miles! I had no pain, no numbness. I was laughing, crying, yahooing the whole time. It was fabulous. It is fabulous.
As I turn 47 years old tomorrow I am thankful that I am looking at 2012 as a healthy person. I am not going into the New Year as I did last year: a hysterectomy scheduled and hoping to hear I am cancer free. I am thankful for so many things. I am thankful for my family, for my health.
I won't be running my birthday years in miles as I normally do each birthday, but hey, at least I can run..right? I will reach my highest mileage this week in a long time. It will be 47 miles. Tomorrow we are celebrating my birthday at Pittsburgh Blue. I'm looking forward to it.

I have many plans to reach my goals for 2012. I'll keep most of my goals private except for my running plans. That is where this blog began.
For so many years my daily calendar has been Tyler and Troy. I gave up the plush corporate office to stay at home for years and then began to work at the public school so that I could have the same hours as my boys. The daily calendar is letting me lose. With Tyler out of the nest and doing so well at college, with Troy not far behind, I find that I am craving more structure for myself. I find that I am having difficulty filling my day. My routine for so long has been my children, my purpose has been their care, their nurturing. I've done well. They have wings with which to fly. They soar.
For 2012 I'm ready to go big running wise. I have had plenty of time to think about what I want to accomplish while running in 2012. I have a final goal and am creating the detailed plans to get to the outcome I desire. I am pulling out my calendar and putting together my plan. Once I have it set in stone, I'll let you in.
Training began a few weeks ago. I love training, and oh, how I have missed it! The only difference between running and training is a written plan. I have written the plan, I am putting in the miles. With training comes discipline, scheduling, a sense of achievement, where I find joy. I find that while I am training everything else falls into place.
Cheers to 2012!

Brand name: Edurant
Generic name: rilpivirine hydrochloride (rilpivirine), or RPV
Class: Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (non-nucleoside, NNRTI, or non-nuke)
Manufacturer: Janssen Therapeutics, www.janssentherapeutics.com, (800) JANSSEN (526-7736)
AWP: $804.39/month
Standard Dose: One 25 mg tablet once daily with a meal of at least 400 calories. Take missed dose as soon as possible with a meal, unless it is closer to the time of your next dose. Do not double up on your next dose.
Potential side effects and toxicity: Insomnia, headache, rash, and depressive disorders (depression, negative thoughts, and suicidal thoughts or actions). When looking at pooled data of the two Phase 3 studies (ECHO and THRIVE), Edurant had significant tolerability advantages when compared to Sustiva. There were lower rates of discontinuation due to side effects. Edurant also has a favorable lipid profile when compared to Sustiva. There were minimal increases in LDL ("bad" cholesterol), total cholesterol, and triglycerides. See chart for potential drug class side effects.
Potential drug interactions: Non-nukes interact with many other drugs. See package insert for the most complete list. Tell your provider or pharmacist about all medications, herbs, and supplements you are taking or thinking of taking, prescribed or not. Do not take with Complera, which already has Edurant in it. Do not take with Sustiva, Atripla, Intelence, or Rescriptor. Antacids should be taken two hours before or at least four hours after an Edurant dose. H2 receptor antagonists, such as Pepcid, Tagamet, and Zantac, should be taken 12 hours before or four hours after an Edurant dose. Proton pump inhibitors, such as Nexium, Prevacid, and Prilosec, should not be taken. Cannot be taken with the anti-seizure medications carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, phenobarbital, and phenytoin; the anti-TB drugs rifabutin, rifampin, and rifapentine; or the herb St. John's wort. Do not take with more than one injectable dose of the steroid dexamethasone; repeated topical use is okay. Clinically monitor the anti-fungals fluconazole (Diflucan), itraconazole (Sporanox), ketoconazole (Nizoral), Noxafil (posaconazole), and Vfend; dose-adjustment for these medications may be needed. Use azithromycin when possible instead of the antibiotics Biaxin, erythromycin, and troleandomycin (Tao). Methadone levels are reduced slightly and patients should be monitored for symptoms of withdrawal. Should be used with caution when taken with medications with a known risk of Torsade de Pointes or QT prolongation (these are abnormal heart rhythms and can make the heart stop).
More information: Approved by the FDA in 2011 for adults who have not taken HIV medications before, as a stand-alone medication and in a fixed dose pill with Truvada (one pill, once-a-day regimen -- see Complera) as well. Studies ECHO and THRIVE showed that Edurant is non-inferior (a term used in scientific research that means the drug is no worse nor better than those it's compared to) to Sustiva in efficacy -- 84% vs. 82% of patients achieved a viral load of less than 50 copies/mL (undetectable) and CD4 count increases of 190 vs. 172 when comparing Edurant and Sustiva, respectively. Although individuals were less likely to stop treatment due to side effects on Edurant vs. Sustiva, they were more likely to experience virologic failure on Edurant (9% vs. 4.8% for Sustiva at 48 weeks), and their HIV was more likely to develop drug resistance mutations when compared to Sustiva. Of those with virologic failure, a new NRTI resistance mutation was developed by 68% vs. 32% and a new NNRTI resistance mutation was developed by 63% vs. 54% respectively. More cross-resistance to Intelence, Sustiva, and Viramune was seen with Edurant treatment failures than with Sustiva failures. These findings can be explained in part by looking at an individual's baseline viral load and their adherence to medication. With the combination of high viral load (more than 100,000 copies per mL) and poor adherence, individuals in the study were three times more likely to experience virologic failure with Edurant when compared to Sustiva. The 25 mg Edurant dose was selected because the 75 mg and 150 mg doses studied were associated with a risk of abnormal heart rhythm (prolonged QT interval). While its tolerability and safety profiles are advantages for Edurant, the greater potential for virologic failure and cross-resistance to the other NNRTIs compared to Sustiva puts Edurant at a disadvantage for first-time treatment, since people may not be able to switch to another NNRTI if their HIV develops NNRTI resistance mutations with Edurant. For proper absorption, it must be taken with a meal that you chew. Nutritional drinks, even high-calorie protein shakes or products like Ensure, won't be enough. Taken with a protein shake, Edurant levels were still half of what they are with a meal. The amount of fat doesn't matter. Meal examples include two slices of whole wheat toast with peanut butter, fresh fruit, and orange juice; a roast beef sandwich on a hard roll with mayo and cheese; and two cups of spaghetti with marinara sauce and a slice of bread. Edurant is a tiny pill about the size of a baby aspirin. While Sustiva is associated with a risk of birth defects, Edurant is Pregnancy Category B (found safe in animal studies), but no studies in humans have been conducted, and Edurant should be used in pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk. (Most HIV medications are Pregnancy Category B.) See package insert for complete information on potential side effects and drug interactions.
Doctor's Comments
Edurant was approved for initial therapy by the FDA in 2011, followed by approval of Complera, a single-tablet combination of rilpivirine, tenofovir, and FTC. The combination of Edurant plus two NRTIs was shown to be better tolerated than Atripla in two large clinical trials. Overall results were similar, but Atripla was somewhat more effective in people with viral loads above 100,000, and there was more virologic failure and resistance, including cross-resistance to Intelence, in people who took Edurant. Current guidelines list Edurant-based regimens as "alternatives" to the preferred regimens. Edurant must be taken with a full meal and should not be taken with drugs that reduce stomach acid.
-- Joel Gallant, M.D., M.P.H.
Activist's Comments
A refreshing addition to the HIV arsenal, Edurant is a tiny pill! I haven't heard anyone complaining of side effects yet, and most importantly, there's been a mass migration of folks who can't tolerate Atripla and kept having the vivid dreams. I've had friends switch and they are thrilled -- with no side effects (yet) and labs improving for them, they're content. Clearly not for all, and in combination, this once-daily therapy is just what the doctor ordered for many! Edurant has a niche in the rainbow of needs and situations for the people who need specialized HIV therapy.

"We are losing women in this profession and we do have a gender issue in this profession," Rebecca Pomering of Moss Adams Wealth Advisors told a room full of women—and some men—during Schwab's IMPACT conference Monday.
Speaking on a women's panel along with Pomering, Peggy Ruhlin of Budros, Ruhlin & Roe, Inc., added that "25% of the attendees at conferences were women when I started, and that hasn't changed"—a fact that she said both "surprises and upsets" her.
Ruhlin and Pomering were joined by Schwab's Naureen Hassan as well as Suanne Ramar of Nelson Capital Management. They each shared their experiences in the profession and offered some sage—and frank—advice to the other female advisors in attendance.
Ramar, who said she entered the advisory field "by accident" right out of college, noted the importance of mentoring. The woman who ended up mentoring her had an MBA and CFA, she said, two credentials she eventually secured for herself. Mentoring, she said, has to be a "path that's best for both parties."
Pomering agreed. "Mentoring has to be a two-way street," she said. "You mentor people because they help you advance in your career and skills as well." As her mentor said to her: "The more successful you are the more we can grow this."
Ruhlin urged the women in attendance to join their local chapters of financial planning-related associations, which she said "can pay off big time." While not having a mentor herself, Ruhlin said that early in her career she became president of her local chapter of the "old IAFP" [now the FPA].
"When I was president of the local IAFP, there was a big one-day stock market crash and ABC News decided to cover this event," Ruhlin recalled. ABC News went to the IAFP looking for someone to interview, she said, "and they suggested me; it was casual day and I had to send my husband home to get an outfit." Peter Jennings ended up being the newscaster who interviewed her on Monday night, "right before Monday night football," so "everybody saw this show—I got all sorts of calls. What do you think that kind of publicity would cost?"
The women also agreed that challenges can be masked as opportunities. While opportunities came her way because she is a woman, Pomering said, "the bigger opportunities come from proving yourself in those initial opportunities."
Ramar told attendees not to fall into the trap of being "self-deprecating" when opportunities come their way.
"Don't say I was really lucky rather than being smart. Let's be both lucky and smart and take advantage of that opportunity."

|Bees on nameless aster
Here in my USDA Hardiness Zone 6a garden in central Indiana, I don't need to look back at past bloom day posts to know this is one of the best growing seasons we've had in some time.
I know it, the flowers know it, the lawn knows it and the bees and butterflies know it. We've been blessed with rain throughout the summer and the fall garden has never looked so fresh.
When it comes to September blooms, I learned along the way that we must choose late blooming plants on purpose if we are to have new blooms this time of year.
Otherwise we have to make do with floral flotsam left over from summer.
Here in my garden, the first of the asters, Symphyotrichum novae-angliae, are beginning to bloom. (Let's call them asters even though the botanists changed their name. Okay?)
The aster above is a nameless passalong just beginning to bloom. Behind it, are even more passalong asters which won't really reach peak bloom until the end of the month, around the feast day of St. Michael the Archangel.
|Michaelmas daisies are just beginning to bloom
Their bloom time is one of the reasons some gardeners call them Michaelmas daisies. Once their flowers open, bees and butterflies will flock to the blooms grabbing all the pollen they can before the first frost.
On the other side of the garden, another aster, 'Alma Potschke' is in full bloom.
|Aster 'Alma Potschke'
|Aster 'Purple Dome with Solidago shortii 'Solar Cascade'
|Sedum 'Autumn Joy'
|Seating in the garden
Instead, let's go up to the patio and look across the garden and admire all the green.
|Green as green gets in September
What's blooming in your garden on this lovely day in mid-September? Join us for Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day and share with us what's blooming in your garden.
It's easy to participate. Post on your blog about your blooms on the 15th of the month, then leave a comment below to tell us about your blooms and add a link on the Mr. Linky widget so we can find you. If you have any problems with the links or commenting, shoot me an email, and I'll help however I can.
As Elizabeth Lawrence once wrote, "We can have flowers nearly every month of the year."

Bladder dysfunction and bowel dysfunction refer to problems with urinating and passing stools. These may lead to the unwanted passage of urine or stool, called urinary or fecal incontinence.
If you have these types of bladder and bowel problems, you may feel embarrassed at the thought of bringing them up with your doctor or other health care provider. The conditions can be physically and emotionally difficult to deal with, but you shouldn't feel uncomfortable about talking to your health care provider. Health care providers are used to dealing with these issues and can help you manage the problem.
For the bladder and bowel to function correctly, certain nerves in your body need to control the right muscles, telling them when to contract and when to release in order to allow urine and feces to be eliminated when you want them to.
This happens when the nerves in the spinal cord send messages from the brain to the bladder and sphincter muscles to control the flow of urine. The muscles within the rectum and anus help control your bowels, and sphincter muscles control or release stool.
A number of conditions may affect the nerves and muscles that control the bladder and bowel, resulting in dysfunction and possible incontinence.
For the bladder, these conditions include:
Overactive bladder. As the name suggests, you may have to go much more frequently than you would like. This can include an urgent need to urinate or having to urinate up to eight times or more a day and twice at night.
Difficulty controlling sphincter muscles. If the nerves to these muscles have been damaged, they may not cooperate when you want to tighten or release them to pass urine.
Holding urine in too long (urine retention). Sometimes nerve damage means that the bladder muscles don't get the chemical message that it's time for you to go. If the urine stays in the bladder too long, pressure may build up and lead to infection or damage of the bladder or kidneys.
Fecal incontinence means you may not make it to the bathroom when you have a bowel movement, or you may "leak" a little when you pass gas.
Conditions that raise the risk for fecal incontinence include:
Damage to the nervous system from disease or injury
Poor health
Vaginal childbirth
Rectal prolapse (when the rectum protrudes into the anus)
Rectocele (when the rectum pushes into the vagina)
These are other health issues that may contribute to bladder and/or bowel dysfunction:
Medication side effects
Multiple sclerosis
Alzheimer's disease
Infections, including spinal cord or brain infections
Problems with the pelvic floor
Digestive problems, such as constipation or diarrhea
Abnormalities that affect the urinary or digestive tract
Problems affecting the nerves that control the urinary or digestive tract
You could also have metal poisoning, congenital nerve-related problems, or injury or damage to the rectum caused by surgery or by conditions, such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
Depending on the nature of your problem and your symptoms, your health care provider will work with you to create a plan of action. Here are some common treatments:
Changing your diet. Gradually increasing your fiber intake can help manage the diarrhea and constipation that can lead to fecal incontinence. Drinking plenty of fluids can also ease constipation, and restricting fluids at times can help manage overactive bladder or urinary incontinence.
Exercises. Kegel exercises can strengthen the sphincter muscles and pelvic floor. This can provide better control and ease bladder and bowel dysfunction. Ask your doctor whether they might help in your case and, if so, how to do them.
Medications. Some medications, including fiber supplements, can help control bowel dysfunction, and antidiarrheal medications can help manage diarrhea. Prescription medications are also available to help bladder muscles relax to promote better bladder control.
Training. Programs that "train" the bowels and bladder can give you better control and manage dysfunction. This includes setting a regular schedule for using the toilet and attempting to urinate or have bowel movements at the same time each day.
Electrical stimulation. This therapy can stimulate damaged nerves and promote better muscle control and control over urine and feces.
Surgery. In rare cases, you may need surgery to repair damage to the muscles or nerves that are causing bladder or bowel dysfunction.
You don't have to suffer in silence. Finding the right therapy and management techniques can help you overcome bladder or bowel problems and avoid embarrassing incidents.
Vidant Health can connect you to health care professionals to help you understand your condition and guide you through the treatment process. Let's chat.
